Top reasons I play Armageddon.

No kidding.  This has probably cause me more time away from Armageddon than any other Armageddon related reason.

So play mundanes?

Cool, weird things you never expect to see and make you go "What the hell?" 

These are the best!  
I remember the first time I was on a wagon that was attacked by a silt horror.
The first time I climbed down a really deep hole, and seeing what was at the bottom.
The first time I climbed up somewhere and saw what was up there.  (I still have dreams about this one.)
First time I walked onto a fairly well known sorcerer's tomb.
The first time I saw a kryl.
The first time I saw a wezer.
OMG! The first time I fell into a well in Alanak and actually had a few torches!

Ahhhh... I love this game.

I do. Religiously.  Never have played or plan to play a magicker.
Also the time I have been away from Arm is very minuscule.  And I can never get into my 'in the mean time' characters and end up feeling like I am cheating myself and those around me for not being into my character.  Then I store, wait, make another... rinse and repeat.  The special app issue is not a big one, at least not to me.  As I read in a post once, that I don't feel like looking up: There are there as an "extra" for people who don't have karma.  You can still play the game, so it is not an immediate need, and the IMMs have many, many issues that need immediate attention like approving reg apps, fixing current characters, bugs, etc.

If this continues to be my biggest issue with the game, I will consider myself quite lucky.

[Iota]

Because I can't stop.

[Archbaron]

Permafun/death. Same thing.

[Shiroi Tsuki]

Should I try to list all the reasons?  I think I'll chalk it up to escapism 

And of course all of you fun people.  You know who you are.

[BlackMagic0]

BlackMagic0 only reason I need.

Aww.... Thanks ST!

[Shiroi Tsuki]

You're welcome babe 

[Desertman]

I love it when I play a pc who is involved in a storyline and then years later I find out neat little facts that completely make everything fall into place like a puzzle that was never quiet complete in my mind.

I love it when that happens.

[roughneck]

amen

[Vessol]

1. The players around me.
2. The deep and established world and setting.
3. The on-going stories and conflicts.
4. The massive amount of play options and role playing opportunities.

[Mood]

I don't play.

[Antigone]

i play for that one, cathartic moment after a char death where i say to myself "i've now done it all" and move on with IRL ; )

I would cry if I ever "beat the game."

[deviant storm]

Crackageddon is right.

I'm back, after nearly 4 years off Arm. I thought I'd long since given it up. The craving for that down-and-dirty, gritty rp drew me back.

The last boss is Halaster.

OH SHIT SPOILERS

[Desertman]

Yeah, its true. Halaster is the last boss.

I tried to hit him once and apparently I hadnt collected enough power rings or magick coins because I wasnt able to hit him, my character was killed, and I lost all of my karma.

That is one story that NEVER gets old, lol!

Yeah, I can honestly say I wasnt really mad about it either. I never used/use my karma anyhow, so it wasnt a huge deal for me.

I knew it was a dumbass thing to do, but being a newbie, I just couldnt help myself. How often do you get a chance to hit an IMM's "Avatar-Thingy" in game? Not very often, and seeing as how Halaster is off staff I will never get that chance again.

So I say it was well worth it. I wouldnt do it again now, because now I have been around long enough I would feel ashamed, but for the time, it was well worth it.

- The quality of role-playing I find with those around my characters.
- Getting to really "be someone else" on tap, and have much more drama and poverty and worry than IRL, always makes me feel better.
- To explore and learn more about the world, and for the beautifully written descriptions and so forth easily found when I play.
- To have an outlet for creative writing.


Um.... there's tons more, but those are the top ones.


IOther than staff and the players behind those other characters, both of which rock my socks... hard.

[Rhyden]

The top reason I play is because my friend introduced me to it. Where he was introduced, I don't know. Maybe mansa told him about it in a dark Ottawa alley or something.

But the other reason I play is because I've tried the other MUDs out there. I've tried most MUDS in the Top 10 on TMS, TMC. But they're nothing in comparison to Armageddon. No body out there has as much depth in role play, atmosphere, and environment as Arm does.

It's as simple as that. Arm is the best. Why waste my time with one of the wannabes?
